FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike is blaming governor, Sim Fubara for the political crisis in the state.
Speaking, during a thanksgiving ceremony in honour of the state’s immediate past Commissioner for Works, George Kelly Alabo in Port Harcourt on Sunday, Wike said Fubara failed to heed to his advice after the president had invited them privately.
According to him, he is not looking for anything from Rivers state as he only wants the governor to play by the rules.
He also said the president invited more persons for the peace accord after Fubara failed to do as instructed when they met privately.
I said, “Do this, do this, do this, do this:. And you agreed before Mr President and you did not do it? And Mr President said, ‘Okay, let the larger state come’. We must allow our people the simple things. I’ve done my own part and I’m happy and I’m doing well in Abuja too.
“So, all of us should love this state but leave this propaganda, leave blackmail. There’s nothing I’m looking for in this state now. I have my own budget as FCT minister.
“It’s like a governor of a state. I have my own commissioners. By January, I present my budget before the National Assembly. I will preside over the expenditure. All I’m saying is if you’re a politician, play according to the rules.”
